(There’s Actually A Million, But Who’s Counting?)

More than 50% of entrepreneurs, small business owners, and leaders report feeling burned out.

More than 60% of employees report feeling burned out.

Women are more than twice as likely as men to become burned out.

The Hustle Culture and Badges of Busy have encouraged us to grind, prioritize work over well-being, achievement over joy, and eat stress for breakfast. (There is no recipe that makes stress taste good, by the way.)

What’s actually happening: we are exhausted, unfulfilled, chronically stressed out, and always feel like they’re never enough.

Jennifer helps smart people and organizations through a less stressful path to professional success and life satisfaction.

Jennifer’s keynote and workshop experiences are one-of-a-kind and have helped thousands find their personal, inner magic and give unrealistic expectations the boot.

The challenges we’re facing in the workforce are unique and they call for solutions that are anything but cookie-cutter. That’s because Jennifer understands that stress – especially chronic stress – is far more complicated than getting more sleep and doing less work.

Jennifer has spent nearly 15 years developing meaningful strategies that have helped thousands of people recover from burnout, manage their stress, and create boundaries that allow them to live a fulfilling life on their own terms. Her proprietary formulas – The Burnout Recovery Method™ and the Boundary Creation Formula™ – give women the power and knowledge to ditch the drama, turn excuses into results, and restore their sanity.

Keynote Description

A growing business is only as resilient as its founder.

There are times when we feel like we can handle anything life throws at us. And, then, there are days where even the smallest setback feels overwhelming.

What makes the difference?

It’s our mental strength.

Our mental strength helps us resist being derailed by negative thoughts and emotions. It helps us get back into the ups and downs of life day after day. And – just like physical strength – it’s a kind of mental muscle that we can develop to improve our overall well-being.

This entertaining talk recounts the three mental roadblocks blocking entrepreneurial success, explores how stress and anxiety affect you, and effective solutions specifically for small business owners.

Takeaways Include:

• What it means to have mental strength: As business owners, we think we have to have all of the answers and deliver perfection. That’s not being mentally tough – it’s being unrealistic. Mental strength includes saying “I don’t know” and being open to feedback.
• Know when to walk away: Not every client, employee, product, or service is a match. It’s okay to let go of what doesn’t serve you or your business.
• Rewrite your inner narrative: Learning how to rephrase negative thoughts and beliefs can have a drastic effect on lower stress levels.
• Establishing strong boundaries: Strong, effective, and enforced boundaries are built around self-respect and anchored by priorities.
• Power of a support system: Learn how to find the people who want to see and help you win.

Keynote Description

When was the last time you had fun? Even made time for it? Fun is the first thing that is usually cut from our time budget, but it’s the one activity that can boost our resilience, energy, and mood in a way that makes it easier to handle whatever life throws at you.

Having fun is just important as productivity. It releases dopamine that leads to positivity, can counteract feelings of stress or hopelessness, and it helps us connect and create bonds with ourselves and others.

In this fun and interactive talk, the audience will learn how to and where to make room on their calendar for fun, identify the activities that are “fun magnets,” and why fun may be the missing puzzle piece to success.

Takeaways Include:

• Put fun on your calendar: Learn the ideal time each day to incorporate fun into your calendar – even when it seems impossibly packed.
• Distinguish between true fun and fake fun: Find the activities that inspire playfulness and connection, rather than anxiety and hopelessness that zoning out can cause.
• Encourage creativity: Our daily lives often require problem-solving and decision-making that need creative thinking.
• Erase stress: : Fun boosts mood, confidence, energy, prevents burnout, and is one of the most powerful antidotes to chronic stress.
• If you’re having real fun, you’ll never regret it: Fun makes you feel like your life more fulfilling – which is a feeling nearly all of us talk about wanting.
